This is the map charting the course of civilization Romney apparently has up in his office. Mentioned on last week’s Chapo episode.
To point out the obvious this is an incredibly stupid way to discuss history and its based on obvious racist assumptions. But it’s really funny how it thinks Pharoanic Egypt and the pre-Greek Agean civilizations are superpowers on par with the British Empire. Also the Frankish Empire that lasted for 20 years under Charlemagne and immediately got broken up by his shitty sons gets big coverage.
I went to school with someone from Bangladesh who loved the fuck out of Tamerlane.
